A web/mobile app where parents upload photos of their staircase and enter basic measurements. The tool analyzes the layout, identifies mounting challenges (no wall, curved railing, banister spindles, asymmetric openings), and recommends specific compatible gate products with exact hardware and adapter kits needed. For truly non-standard setups, it generates a custom gate spec and connects users to vetted fabricators or offers a direct-to-door custom gate service.

The baby-proofing market continues to grow with rising safety awareness, yet modern home designs increasingly feature open-concept layouts, floating staircases, and non-traditional railings that standard gates cannot accommodate. Parents are turning to online communities in frustration, signaling a clear gap between available products and real-world staircase configurations.
